@anthonyfurey You can still buy a whole pie if you choose. Some people don't want the whole pie!

@jason98f_jason @DanishBTCMaxi @PierrePoilievre Can you have a conversation without swearing and name calling?

[Nedine Thomas @nedinet]

@ABDanielleSmith Bull shit. I'd like to see the source for this.

True leadership from a great Premier.

“The US administration chose to stick with this failed economic policy, and Canada must respond accordingly.”

Given that the US booze boycott by 8/10 provinces has clearly had an impact, I hope that Saskatchewan and Alberta will follow suit by showing solidarity with the rest of Canada.

Let’s support our amazing Canadian distillers, brewers and vintners, and send a message that Canadians are united.

@dhab4848 @citynewscalgary Wow. You are disgusting.

@Northstarlink9 @CalgaryPolice I hope all the officers involved are given time and support to grieve.

@DuaneBratt What is SLAPP?

On issue after issue, separatists just wave their magic wand to wish away serious problems with secession.

Myth: “Federal lands and federal building (sic) don’t add up to much”

Fact:

- Wood Buffalo National Park
- Jasper National Park
- Banff National Park
- Waterton National Park
- Elk Island National Park

Together encompass 53,860 sq KM, or 8.2% of Alberta’s land mass

- CFB Cold Lake
- CFB Suffield
- CFB Wainwright
- CFB Edmonton

Together encompass ~12,000 sq KM, or 1.9% of Alberta’s land mass

- 138 Indian Reserves encompassing 6,556 sq KM, or 1% of Alberta’s land mass

- YEG and YYC airport lands, encompassing 49 sq KM

Plus hundreds of other parcels of land, buildings, etc, much of it prime downtown property (eg armouries, RCMP facilities.)

So ~12% of Alberta’s land mass, including some of the most valuable and strategically important in the province. The total value would be in the tens of billions of dollars.

But don’t worry, the separatists say. No biggie. We’ll just keep saying “Canada sucks” and stuff, cause facts are hard.

This is nonsensical and counterproductive.

Canada is finally getting serious about investing in national defence. This should be welcomed and encouraged by our allies, not attacked.

For the first time since the Cold War, we have achieved the longstanding 2% GDP target, and are credibly moving to the new 3.5% core defence target.

The Blame Canada crowd here is claiming that’s all the result of creative accounting.

Nonsense.

- We have adopted the same framework for scoring defence spending as most of our NATO allies

- The federal budget and estimates show real, material budgeted increases to meet the targets

- We are spending $55 billion to build 15 cutting edge destroyers, part of the larger naval ship building strategy launched by the Harper government

- The RCN is about to launch the procurement of 12 new submarines

- The RCAF is finally about to take possession of our first tranche of F35s as part of the new fighter jet fleet

- Canada is spending tens of $ billions to modernize and expand Arctic military capacity

- The decline in total Canadian Armed Forces personnel has finally turned around, and force size is expanding.

Anyone who works in or close to the Canadian defence sector knows that this is real. Exciting things are happening in defence tech innovation, procurement, industry partnerships, etc.

Canada’s underinvestment in national defence goes back decades under different governments. It was allowed to get to a shameful state, and for too long we have preened about our moral authority while living rent free under the American security umbrella.

It will take time to achieve the ambitious goals of Canada’s defence rebuild. But Prime Minister Carney’s commendable defence reset began just a year ago.

The Permanent Joint Board on Defence has been a key platform for cooperation on North American defence since the Second World War. It has operated in good times and bad: during our joint operations in the Korean and Afghan Wars; during much lower levels of Canadian defence spending; and even when a US President threatened to annex Canada.

Our two countries have shed blood together in the defence of freedom. Geography dictates that we will always need each other to defend North America. So our alliance must be able to stand above occasional tensions in the bilateral relationship.

@furmsies Can't believe I'm saying this, but Doug.

@nelson_and28959 @DuaneBratt Except they aren't following the boundary commissions recommendations.

@anoncdn_123 @ABDanielleSmith @SheilaGunnReid Nope. If you want to bring in bible study, you need to bring in religious studies. As in learn about ALL religions. Maybe people would learn a little tolerance if they were educated.

@LichTamara It was not peaceful and polite. That was the problem. It may not have been violent. But it wasn't peaceful.

[Nedine Thomas @nedinet]

@spym1325 That is not true. 🙄

@RdLessTrvled @tiredofcons1978 @ikwilson @liberal_party Try reading the whole campaign order. 🙄

@DuaneBratt Good! Glad it keeps getting rejected. How much tax payer money has been spent trying to do this? 😠

[Nedine Thomas @nedinet]

@_jackmodz I love that!

[Nedine Thomas @nedinet]

@_jackmodz I can't really tell from the second pic. Is that retail space with housing above it?

@MaxPower777000 @wsilverwings2 @ABDanielleSmith You have no clue.
